Meat & Potato Theatre was a DC-based theatre company until 2008 when we began the transition to Salt Lake City. I got involved with other theatres as quickly as possible--forming a Playwrights' Laboratory with Plan B Theatre and directing Dark Play for Salt Lake Acting Company. With the arrival of Marynell Hinton (General Manager) and the production of our first production (Infantry Monologues), we have finally arrived.
We changed locations, but never our mission, which remains:
Meat & Potato is a 501c3 theatre company dedicated to telling compelling stories in the most powerful ways possible. Therefore:
⋅ All plays must have a clear storyline with a beginning, middle & end: adventures
⋅ Every production must employ at least one overtly theatrical element or style: puppets, masks, multiple &/or cross casting, one-person plays, musicals, dumbshows, farce, biomechanics, audience participation, Kabuki, Theatre of Cruelty, the Alienation Effect, etc
⋅ There is a firm cap on production costs
⋅ The talents of local, emerging artists will be used whenever & wherever possible
⋅ Ticket prices will be kept affordable to the general public & especially as an enticement to younger audiences
